HYMN 28. B. 3. 1st S. M.
Dover, Silver-Street.

1 LET God the Father live

Forever on our tongues: Sinners from his first love derive

The ground of all their songs.

2 Ye saints, employ your breath In honour to the Son,

Who bought your souls from hell and death

By offering up his own.

Give to the Spirit praise

Of an immortal strain,

Whose light and power and grace conveys

Salvation down to men.

While God the Comforter

Reveals our pardon'd sin,

O may the blood and water bear
The same record within!

To the great One in Three,
That seal this grace in heaven,
The Father, Son, and Spirit, be
Eternal glory given.

LET God the Maker's name
Have honour, love and fear;

To God, the Saviour, pay the same,

And God the Comforter.

2 Father of Lights above,

Thy mercy we adore,

The Son of thine eternal love,
And Spirit of thy power.

YE angels round the throne,
And saints that dwell below,
Worship the Father, love the Son,
And bless the Spirit too.

And to the Spirit of his grace
Be equal honour done.

Thro' all the worlds where God is known, By all the angels near the throne,

And all the saints in earth and heaven.

HYMN 38. B. 3. H. M.

Bethesda, Portsmouth.

A song of praise to the blessed TRINITY.
I GIVE immortal praise
To God the Father's love,
For all my comforts here,
And better hopes above.

He sent his own

Eternal Son,

To die for sins

That man had done.

2 To God, the Son, belongs

Immortal glory too,

Who bought us with his blood
From everlasting wo:

And now he lives,

And now he reigns,

And sees the fruit
Of all his pains.

3 To God the Spirit's name

Immortal worship give,

Whose new-creating power

Makes the dead sinner live:

His work completes | And fills the soul

The great design,

4

With joy divine.

Almighty God, to thee

Be endless honours done,
The undivided Three,

And the mysterious One:

Where reason fails

[ocr errors]

There faith prevails,

With all her powers, And love adores.

HYMN 39. B. 3. H. M.

1 TO Him that chose us first,
Before the world began;

To Him that bore the curse
To save rebellious man;

To Him that form'd Is endless praise

Our hearts anew,

2

And glory due.

The Father's love shall run
Through our immortal songs;
We bring to God the Son
Hosannas on our tongues:

Our lips address

The Spirit's name

With equal praise,

And zeal the same.

3 Let every saint above,

And angel round the throne,

Forever bless and love

The sacred Three in One.

Thus heav'n shall raise | When earth and time His honours high, Grow old and die.

THE HOSANNA; OR, SALVATION ASCRIBED

682

TO CHRIST.

HYMN 42. B. 3. L. M.

1 HOSANNA to king David's Son,
Who reigns on a superior throne;
We bless the Prince of heavenly birth,
Who brings salvation down to earth.

2 Let every nation, every age,
In this delightful work engage;
Old men and babes in Sion sing
The growing glories of her King.

683

HYMN 43. B. 3. C. M.

1 HOSANNA to the Prince of Grace;
Sion, behold thy King;

Proclaim the Son of David's race,
And teach the babes to sing.

Who from the Father came;
Ascribe salvation to the Lord,
With blessings on his name.

684}

HYMN 16. B. 1. C. M.

Bedford, Parma.

Hosanna to Christ.

1 HOSANNA to the royal Son
Of David's ancient line;

His natures two, his person one,
Mysterious and divine.

2 The root of David here we find,
And offspring is the same;
Eternity and time are join'd

In our Immanuel's name.

3 Bless'd He that comes to wretched men With peaceful news from heaven; Hosannas of the highest strain

To Christ the Lord be given !

4 Let mortals ne'er refuse to take
Th' hosanna on their tongues,

Lest rocks and stones should rise, and break
Their silence into songs.
